Won’t have to pay to keep him in jail any longer — win/win

[frank ballenger]

I really dislike the wimpy cliche from law enforcement at press conferences (real and TV ones):
“We caught him and he’s going away for a long time.”

Almost never true. They have shifty defense lawyers to keep evidence and confessions and even dna from being part of evidence the jury gets. And ACLU and BLM types who champion their cause. And Soros or Dem appointed judges to reduce their sentences.

One type: reported sexual assaults
https://www.rainn.org/statistics/criminal-justice-system

of 1000 sexual assaults, 995 perpetrators will walk free. Out of every 1,000 rapes, 310 are reported to the police, 57 reports lead to arrest, 13 cases get referred to prosecutors, 7 cases will lead to a felony conviction, 6 rapists will be incarcerated.

Have any death row inmates escaped?
A fugitive who successfully fled death row was finally recaptured by authorities last week after spending 42 years in hiding. Vo Van Ba, a death row inmate, broke out of prison in October 1980 while awaiting his execution, after being convicted of rape and murder in 1977.

Dead, or murdered? Sometimes jail is a safe haven from retribution.

A room-mate and I...and the dog (you xan get away with that late at night) were in a laundromat, doing laundry. An apparently homeless guy came in, and was washing his clothes in a sink. Seemed nice enough. A couple of weeks later, we saw his picture on the front page of the newspaper. He was an escaped prisoner, and had turned up in a trash bag, down by the river.

No swimming lessons in prison, huh?

[Libloather]

Much worse than living in a van down by the river.

His name was Bob.

His Pronouns: were/was/dead...

[joethedrummer]

He could cut it in prison…. But the guy just couldn’t swim…

[GingisK]

The headline raises the possibility that the boater killed him.
